June 21 (Reuters) - Apple Inc on Thursday asked afederal judge to move a lawsuit against it by Eastman Kodak Co to a new court, which could derail the photographypioneer's plan to quickly sell a large patent portfolio throughthe bankruptcy process.

Kodak had sued Apple on Monday, seeking to stop the largestU.S. company by market value from claiming ownership of 10patents, including for technology that helps camera ownerspreview photographs on LCD screens.

These patents are part of a "digital-capture" portfolio ofmore than 700 patents for devices such as digital cameras,smartphones and tablets.

This portfolio has generated more than $3 billion of revenuesince 2001. Kodak is trying to sell it fast, and remain incompliance with a $950 million bankruptcy loan.

But in a filing with the U.S. District Court in Manhattan,Apple said the dispute should be reviewed by a jury in a federaldistrict court, not as Kodak wishes by a judge in a federalbankruptcy court, where there are no juries.

Apple also said that while it is "amenable to areasonably-expedited proceeding," it should be in districtcourt, because a bankruptcy judge lacks the power and expertiseto get involved.

"Kodak wants the bankruptcy court to rule on its claims in amatter of weeks based on a self-imposed,artificially-accelerated sale process," Apple said. "No law orpolicy permits giving Apple's intellectual property rights suchshort shrift."

Chris Veronda, a Kodak spokesman, did not immediatelyrespond to a request for comment. A lawyer for Kodak declinedimmediate comment.

Privately held FlashPoint Technology Inc, which Apple spunoff in 1996, has also claimed ownership of the 10 disputedpatents, and is also a defendant in the bankruptcy case.

Kodak owns about 10,700 patents overall and has hired Lazardto help market its digital-capture and digital-imaging patentportfolio, which together include more than 1,100 patents.

Last week, Kodak said it expected to auction the patents inearly August, with a winning bidder announced by Aug. 13.

Kodak is based in Rochester, New York. It filed for Chapter11 protection on Jan. 19. Apple is based in Cupertino,California.
